CM Punk EA UFC Rumor Kiler, Ronda Rousey New Bodypaint Photo, Dana White On Rousey's SNL Performance
- We noted earlier this month that MMA fans were losing it when rumors emerged that CM Punk would have a rating of "85 out of 100" in the new EA UFC video game. EA Sports UFC game director Brian Hayes spoke with FOX Sports and said that Punk was just an 85 in the beta, which is "a placeholder."
"I'm pretty sure CM Punk, when the game locks in, is going to have the lowest overall rating in the game," Hayes said. "But when he does have his first fight, if he just lights it up and looks like a prodigy, we'll have to go into the servers [and bump him up]."
- UFC President Dana White appeared on Huff Post Live this week to discuss his series, Dana White: Lookin' for a Fight. During the interview, he noted that Rousey "killed it" hosting Saturday Night Live last week. He also talked about her crossover appeal.
"Some people have that star quality in them and some people are superstars and others just aren't," White said. "You can be a great fighter and be super talented, but just not have that persona and that 'It factor.' ... Ronda Rousey is — she is it."
- Speaking of Rousey, we noted earlier this month that the former UFC Bantamweight Champion would be appearing in the Sports Illustrated 2016 Swimsuit issue. SI.com has some images from the photo shoot on their website, you can check out one below:
